§ MAJOR ARBUTHNOTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is in contemplation to separate the "Transport, Supply, and Ordnance Branches of the Army Service Corps," which appears to be contemplated by the alteration in the second Clause of the Mutiny Act for the current year; and, whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House any Minutes by the Director of Supply and Transport, as well as by the Director of Ordnance and Stores, which have been written, urging such separation?
§ SIR HENRY STORKSSir, the Army Service Corps is divided into three branches—supply, transport, and stores, with officers and men attached, who are specially trained for their respective duties—but they form one corps as regards pay, allowances, and conditions of service. Any Minutes which may have passed on the formation of the Army 962 Service Corps are departmental observations, and, as such, cannot be produced.
